ALEX AND ALYSON PITT

Officially ONE MONTH OLD!!!!! I just can not believe it---- No, really- I can not!!!! I have not posted on our blog in almost 2 months!!! So much to update on--- beginning with the single most important thing that has ever happened to me----- The birth of our son, Henry Arthur Pitt!!!!!!

Henry was born on December 29th 2011 at The University of South Alabama! He was born at 12:27am weighing 8lbs, 5oz and 20.5inches long!!!! Alex and I are absolutely OVER THE MOON with this little boy! Labor was rough--- 14 hours and ended up needing a C-section but totally worth it. He came out screaming and kicking and we were both able to hold him immediately.

Henry and I were discharged from the hospital on New Years Eve, where Alex and my dad came and picked us up and brought us home:) It was honestly the most magical time of my life. For you that know me well, it came as no surprise that I wanted children but I did not know the love you immediately feel when you birth a baby. It is really indescribable.

Alex was able to spend an entire month here with us. He left last week to head back home but will return here in February to "collect us" to take us home----exciting yet nervous!!! Henry's passport has already been issued and arrived in the mail on Friday which makes it official that we are heading home to Dubai.

So, let me just tell y'all how AMAZING my little boy is-----Ok- He hardly ever cries!!!! He is just so content in someone's arms:) Henry placed himself on a 3 hour schedule when he was 2 weeks old and is pretty much sticking to that as of now. I am wondering when I can move him to every 4 hours. He sleeps ALOT! In the past week, he has had more "awake" times but he still is a very sleepy baby-----and I am not complaining!!!! Alex's mom brought pictures of Alex when he was a newborn and they are identical. Henry looks just like his daddy--which is fine with me:) He was last weighed 2 weeks ago and he was 9lbs 7oz so I imagine he is near 12lbs now. He goes back this week for a "check-up."

Alex and I could not be happier and we can not wait to watch our little boy grow:) Stay tuned for more pictures:)
